Fifty Shades of Grey Casting Rumor: Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam

While the names of countless Hollywood stars have been bound to the leading roles in the film adaptation of E L James‘s mega-selling erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey, recent rumors tie two towheaded, younger actors to the project: Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam.

Johnson, 23 – daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith – is a former model who turned heads in The Social Network and the short-lived sitcom Ben and Kate.

Hunnam, 33, is star of the drama Sons of Anarchy, which premieres on FX Sept. 10, as well as this summer’s sci-fi film Pacific Rim.

Marquee names ranging from Ryan Gosling to Emma Watson have been linked to the roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. However, sources and studio insiders tell Variety that no casting decisions, including on Hunnam, have been made on the project.

Hunnam’s reps told the Guardian in the U.K. that their client does not have the part.
